They already do evil DoS attacks. Keep up the good IP Blocker work!
It can totally lock up a PC (w/o hardware firewall) or the hardware firewall box. A suddenly locked up PC currupts several part.met files and can cause other filesystem errors from lost delayed writes. The problem lasted a week. The time when it went away correlated with an IP Block update but it wasn't BlueTack's. EmulePawcio updates their IP Blocker only once or twice a month and that update fixed it. The attack apparently involves creating an IP conflict as one of it's steps. It might be really simple to do.
